Good Day, Sunshine! We have had lots of wonderfully sunny and warm weather recently. I hope all of you have found, even a little, time for relaxation and vacation from the regular fare of your lives this summer; and if not, then I hope you have a break coming up soon.
While I did manage to get a fantastic vacation in this summer, I feel like I’ve been working Eight Days a Week and it sure has been A Hard Day’s Night. However, I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends. And I do appreciate all of you being around, so won’t you please, please help me. Help me because We Can Work It Out if we Come Together, right now—with me, with you!
Let’s Come Together and collect our Ticket to Ride and the ability to Carry that Weight of caring for the dental health and overall health of others. Let’s Come Together for each other and to keep our profession alive, vital, growing and supporting.
I hope all of you were able to recognize the classic Beatles tunes that were referenced above and at the Installation Dinner in May (with deep gratitude, and sincere apologies, to Lennon and McCartney). I think if one knows and loves rock-‘n-roll, then one knows of The Beatles; just as if you are a fan of jazz, then you know of Louie Armstrong.
It seems to follow that if you are a fan of your career and your profession, then you know of and support ADHA—your professional organization. It just goes together.
Simply stated, your profession cannot support you, unless you are willing to lend your support to it.
NVDHA is alive and doing well thanks to the support of all those involved. Whether your involvement is simply paying your annual dues to support all that ADHA does to keep your career alive, or if you lend your support to our community efforts, attend our CE courses, staff and/or chair our committees, or even volunteer and step up to hold an office—NVDHA is successful because of you! Thank you!
We have some great CEs planned for you this year. We also lend our support to several community efforts that will be happening again too. Your elected officers and committee chairs are expecting a successful year together with you.
I want to thank all of you for the honor you’ve given me as your NVDHA President this 2011-2012 year. I look forward to meeting you and working with you for the advancement of our profession.
Warm Regards,
Mary Boyle
